You will work alone but not alone on the wing.
You need to know where your team mates are.
You need a minimum of 3 officers actively on a wing to open up.
If your the ONLY officer on a wing then retreat to a place of safety.

Poelt can be daunting.. All new stuff to learn.
Info overload....

Give It time.
Someone on my poelt course felt the same. She is now just out of probationary period and loves the job.
But if its not for you and you've given it a good go, then leave. It will mess with your head

It must be awful for all those rats and roaches to have so many scousers living with them!!!

You need to declare EVERYTHING.

No you wont be taught what is proportional and necessary. That comes from within.
What would scare someone might not scare the next.

No uniform change.

Everyone is on a 37 hour contract.
If your establishment runs a 39 or 41 hour profile and you want to do it you'll get a line on your payslip saying ACH. ( additional contrated hours) and paid accordingly
